That is the standard Microsoft message when installing a driver that has not been certified by Microsoft.

Microsoft certification is expensive.

Some people do not do not want to go through the time and expense of certification.

Just ignore the warning and proceed on.

You have to watch the advertising on eBay.

They almost always exagerate the megapixel rating of that camera.

No matter what they say, it is a 3 megapixel camera.

.................

And watch the pricing.
You can get a name brand camera similar to the S303 for $127 and $5 shipping at Newegg.com.
The Olympus D425 (4 megapixel).
